3. Select the option on the next menu that offers the phone type. This may be listed as 'Info,' 'Phone' or 'Handset.' If you cannot find this option, turn off your phone and remove the battery. The phone model and handset type will be printed on the silver label on the interior of the battery compartment.

4. Purchase a Nokia 1100, Nokia 2600, Nokia 3390, Motorola V170 or Motorola C155 that is sold under the Tracfone logo. You will need one of these phones that is already set up with the Tracfone company. Just buying the same model from a different carrier will not work.
5. Call the number included in your package (1-800-867-7183) to reach Tracfone customer service. Have your account information ready, including your payment choice (prepaid card, debit card, checking account or credit card).
6. Activate the phone with Tracfone customer service. If you are switching the phone on your existing account, make sure that you tell customer service this before you begin the process. While you can also activate phones online at the Tracfone site, it is better to switch phones on existing accounts over the phone with a live customer service agent. Make sure that you get a time estimate for the service switching over to the new phone so you know what to expect.

How to Troubleshoot Connecting a Bluetooth Phone to a Toyota Sienna Van

1. Check that your phone is compatible with Toyota's Bluetooth system. Refer to the Toyota Bluetooth link (see Resources) to select your model year, cell carrier and device to ensure compatibility. Some Bluetooth phones may not be compatible or may only be partially compatible, meaning some features may not be available.
2. Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your cell phone. As every phone is different, refer to your phone's users manual for specific instructions on how to do so. Generally, you will need to go to the Settings menu, select 'Bluetooth,' and enable Bluetooth or make your phone discoverable.
3. Wait for the audible beep after pressing the Talk button on the steering wheel before giving a verbal command. The beep lets you know that the system is ready to hear your command. Speaking directly after pressing the Talk button will cause your command to be heard incorrectly.
4. Speak loudly and clearly when giving verbal commands. You want to ensure that the system properly registers your command without confusion.
5. Enter the correct passkey on your phone. During the pairing process, the Handsfree display will show a passkey that you will need to enter on your phone to confirm the pairing process.
